You have no trouble withdrawing if you don't take much to start with. But sister rags was on 4 mg a day I think ???? she will tell me if wrong. if so that is a lot even more than my 6mg Ativan in potency wise . if been on that many years it will take many to get yourself off, then what do you take to replace it, there is only another benzo. tell the shrink like my gp said im on for life it more dangerous to take you off than to leave you on. I chose to go up. There is no way im going to detox 6mg Ativan at my age. I running ok has I am. stop them I die , simple I wont put up with another detox I would sooner die my doctors no I mean it. BENZO FULL BLOWN WITHDRAWAL is like a being totured night and day for months and years by unseen monsters you have no life what so ever. You are dead to this planet and all who are on it. . Then you take them again WHAT WAS IT ALL FOR
